Why Hiring a Property Owners Association Attorney Makes Sense
The rules surrounding property owners associations can get complicated quickly. Both property owners and the associations themselves can often benefit from the assistance of an attorney who is well-versed in the rules surrounding these organizations. Some things a property owners association attorney can do to help are:
- Drafting and reviewing all association governance documents
- Advising on the legal compliance of certain association rules and regulations
- Helping to resolve disputes that arise between the association and property owners
- Enforcing the payment of dues and assisting with the collection of delinquent dues
- Assisting with the enforcement of community rules
Property owners associations often govern commercial developments as well, which adds another layer of complexity. An Austin commercial real estate attorney can help ensure compliance with zoning laws, lease agreements, and other legal requirements that affect businesses operating within these associations. For more information on Texas Property Owners Association laws, visit the Texas Property Code – Chapter 209, which outlines key regulations governing POAs.
As property owners associations become more common, more issues and disputes are bound to arise. If you find yourself in the middle of a dispute, contact Porter Law Firm to let us help.
Common Property Owners Association Issues
A property owners association can provide many benefits to residents, such as common area maintenance and consistent rules and regulations. However, disputes involving these associations are common. Some of the most common issues faced by property owners associations include:
- Risk management
- Rule enforcement
- Collection of dues
- Fines and citations
- Governance documents
- Board member issues
Disputes over rule enforcement, fines, or governance can sometimes lead to legal battles. If a case escalates, a business litigation attorney in Austin can provide representation, whether through negotiation, mediation, or formal litigation.
Additionally, structural issues in common areas or residential properties can lead to conflicts within a property owners association. If defects arise in community buildings or shared spaces, an Austin construction defects lawyer can assist in holding builders and developers accountable for substandard work.
